Happy Homemaker Monday

As I look outside my window:::
It's sunny and the snow is all melting leaving the world an ugly brown.  This week it's supposed to be beautiful although I fear it will be 10 degrees again soon.
  
Right now I am::: 
Sitting on the ottoman in my living room waiting for our couches and lunch to arrive. 
 
Thinking and pondering:::
Working on the house to get it ready for the baby.  There is so much to do and no time.
  
On my bedside table:::
Have not touched my book in a week or two.  I will be hopefully doing some reading this afternoon or evening.  Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding
 
On my tv tonight:::
The Following

Listening to:::
Sydney's iPad and Rylie's snoring.

On the menu for this week:::
I have yet to come up with my menu for the week.  That's one of my things to do today.

Monday - 
Tuesday - 
Wednesday - 
Thursday -

On my to do list:::
Menu planning
Cleaning up the rest of the birthday party mess

Plans for this week:::
Dance for Sydney
Sydney's parent teacher conferences

an electrician coming out
So much craziness
My niece's birthday party this weekend
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
My crochet mood blanket


My simple pleasure:::
Organizing my calendars.  I don't know why, but I love it.  I have a day planner, a monthly pocket planner, a regular calendar on the wall, and a dry erase calendar and I try to keep all of them updated.  I love them.

Lesson learned the past week:::  
I'm still working on patience.  It will probably be a life long lesson though.

Looking around the house:::
The new couches have arrived and I'm in love.  The kitchen table is cluttered with trash and recycling from Rylie's birthday party this weekend to be put away.  Sydney and Rylie are cuddled up together watching a show on Sydney's iPad.

From the camera:::


Prayer List:::
I have a few friends I'm praying for, and anyone else who could use it.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His presence continually! ~ 1 Chronicles 16:11

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am.... Sitting outside at the table on the front porch while the kids run and play or stop to eat their snacks.    Thinking.... Ugh Monday... Mondays always seem to be the worst days for me. On my reading pile.... Starting a new one that I picked up last week at one of my favorite stores, Brits.  Jane Austen:  Her Life And Letters by William Austen-Leigh and  Richard Arthur Austen-Leigh On my TV..... Everything from my DVR since we are switching cable providers and will be losing our current DVRs on Wednesday. Also, Call The Midwife, The Bible and Season 3 of Downton Abbey Blog hopping (newly discovered blog).... I don't currently have anything but I hope to soon. On the menu for this week.... I don't really have a menu plan at the moment.  Shawn started a diet full of prepackaged meals and it's thrown my current plan ...
